"As YE SOW"

Just few words; but they brighten
A life that was clouded W tn care,
And strengthened spirit discouraged
And close to the verge of despair.
And faith TO go hopefully onward
Sprang up where their tenderness fell
Just few words; but how potent
For comfort or blessing their spell!
Just few words; but they blighted
And biaoCgsned name as frost,
And stung unto madness q spirit
That hung on the brink of the lost;
Hung, trembl ng with pitiful longings
To turn from the valley OF shame
Just few words; but they weighted
The balance, and-who was to blameH
The one who had shifted the burden
From shoulders that shrunk from the load
Spoke also the light words of soothing
That proved the poor hating ones good.
The speaker went carelessly onward
Nor rocked Of the deeds that were done,
Nor tn ought Of the lilies or thistles
To spring from the seeds idly sown.

It was not greatly to their credit that some
of the peoples witnesses in the Labadie case
both male and female, could not keep sober
while in attendance on the court. The
offense was so fragrant and constituted such
an open contempt of court, that His Honor,
at the close of the trial, called Henry Hotal-
ing and his wife before him and, after briefly
abiding TO their disgraceful conduct, SEN
fenced each of them TO imprisonment in the
county Jail for period of thirty days.
VIM. Fry and Isaac Coffinger were ar.
raigned before Esq. Warner, last Tuesday, on
charge of larceny, preferred by VIM. II
Stevens of Almena. The claim is that the
accused found a pocket book belonging 10
Mr.. Stevens, containing some thirty-fiv
dollars in money and some valuable papers
and that they appropriated the money "a
their own use. The respondents waived
examination and, in default OF $500 bail
were committed TO Jail to await trial in th,
circuit court.

Arlington Heights Captured.

The East Arlington Farmers Association
held it's adjourned quarterly meeting at the
residence of G. y. Nash, on the Goth inst.
We began to think the society had frozen to
death, and was buried in some large snow
drift; but. as old Sol peeped his face from
behind the curtain, "a gentle south wind
aroused some of its southern members who,
looking northward toward Arlington Heights,
discovered its summit and, being ambitious,
bethought themselves of its capture. Hitch
ing up their bays and greys, they set out
accordingly and taking in their brother
farmers and their wives to join them in the
fray, at about ton o'clock, they began to gain
| the heights and in a short time had full
possession. Until the hour for refreshments,
the time was spent in friendly greeting and
social chat.
Dinner being announced, we were ushered
| into the dining room, where the tables were
| in waiting to be relieved of their generous
supplies. The bill of fare being restricted
one, Mrs. Nash, profiting by the example of
one of the other members, who had to pay "a
| fine because she had both pie and pudding,
! limited the fare and strictly adhered TO the
constitution. Unfolding my napkin, was
was surprised at finding present, for which
| we duly return thanks.
After dinner, the meeting was called to
order by the president. Mr.. and Mrs. II. L.
Wallace, having previously made application
were voted in as members OF the society
The programme for the day, consisting OF
the election of officers, reading essays anC
selections, was appropriately closed with q
few chapters of chronicles. All who were
present felt that they had had happy time
